Looking to buy some 10 lug wheels for my 97 f350 dually and was wondering if all aluminum wheels would be fine with the adapters or do I need to get a set of steels for the inners?
No clue, but if aluminum will work for a 18 wheeler, it will definitely work for our little trucks!
I thought I saw somewhere about aluminum wheels being too thin and causing the lug nuts to not fit but I'm going with aftermarket lug nuts anyways so I guess I'll just get them and go from there. I wish someone who has a set of 10 lugs installed would chime in I'd like to see some tire options
aluminum rims are a lot thicker than steel.
so if you want to run aluminum inners, you will have to run longer studs to compensate for the thicker rims.
The adapter you'll need to use to run them have longer studs and a hub lip to account for using two aluminum wheels. As mentioned, they're thicker so they need longer studs to mount properly.
I bought my wheels and adapters from buytruckwheels.com
I picked up 2 used inners from a local truck repair shop for cheap. Like 100 a wheel. Might be worth looking around your area to see what's available.
Also, get the balance beads tossed in. Its a bag of beads that roll around inside the tire and constantly keep it balanced.
I run Falken BI850 tires. Excellent all terrain tread and no traction issues
